ZEISS 85mm f/1.4 Otus ZF.2 Planar T* Prime - F Mount

The ZEISS 85mm f/1.4 Otus ZF.2 Planar T* Prime - F Mount features the most successful, and most frequently copied, camera lens design of all time. Modifications to the tried-and-tested six-lens basic type ensure that it achieves the high imaging quality required by modern sensors. Lenses with a Planar optical design enable consistent performance across a large range of image scales (the key requirement for universal macro-lenses).

Features:

• Planar Design
• Lens with aspheric optical surface
• Lens made of special glass with anomalous partial dispersion
• "Floating elements" design
• Nikon F Mount

Excellent Image Contrast 

Aberrations caused by extreme differences between shadows and highlights are particularly obvious in images captured at night. Thanks to the outstanding correction of lateral chromatic aberration with this lens, architectural subjects such as a floodlit façades are reproduced accurately at night.

No Color Fringing

Sources of light located in front of or behind the plane of focus present particular challenges to every lens. In the case of the ZEISS Otus, longitudinal chromatic aberration is so low that practically no color fringing occurs.  

Medium Format Look

Thanks to its exceptional sharpness, the ZEISS Otus exploits the full potential of contemporary, high-resolution sensors and rewards photographers with images characterized by breathtaking rendition of fine detail.

Apochromat

Because this lens is an apochromat (a lens or lens system that reduces spherical and chromatic aberration), axial chromatic aberations are corrected with elements of special glass via anomalous partial dispersion. The chromatic aberrations are therefore significantly below the defined limits. Bright-dark transitions in the image, and especially highlights, are reproduced almost completely free of color artifacts.

Aspherical Design

An aspherical lens design ensures consistent imaging performance throughout the entire focusing range, as well as sharpness to the periphery of the image. The asphere's more complex surface profile can reduce or eliminate spherical aberration and also reduce other optical aberrations compared to a simple lens.
